The largest glaciers in the world are a type called continental ice sheets. Basically ice that covers an entire continent. These are the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. Large Alpine glaciers can be found in places like South America, Alaska, the Alps of Switzerland and the Himalaya.
The largest glaciers occur in Antarctica and Greenland. They are so large that we call them ice sheets. Mountain glaciers (like the ones in the Himalayas or Alps) are smaller than these ones.
Hubbard Glacier in North America; Perito Moreno Glacier in South America; Vatnajokull Glacier in Europe; Glaciers of Kilimanjaro in Africa and the Siachen Glacier in Asia. There are many others, but it is impossible to mention them all.
